Black Student Voices was a research project led by students to amplify and create change for Black students at the University of Kent.
The aims of the project were to create a list of recommendations and actions for the University of Kent and Kent Union to improve the experience of Black students. The researchers looked at all areas of the university experience including academia, wellbeing, and community.
